As refugees arrive in increasing numbers in Europe, Musicians without Borders is building a program of support and solidarity. Our trainers and workshop leaders use the power of music to engage people living in emergency reception centers, building trust and connection among refugees, as well as with the local communities in which they are now located. Following our pilot project in the Netherlands, we’ve now expanded the Welcome Notes project to Italy and Germany and are focusing on providing training and creating connections between local musicians, organizations and refugee communities throughout Europe.

Goals:

bring hope and comfort to those who have been driven from their homes by war;

build bridges and create solidarity in European communities;

provide a safe, fun, and supportive space for artistic expression and cultural exchange.
